"I promised the kids a puppy if they would come on this trip. So all during the trip they were looking up different breeds and the entire process of getting a dog, how to take care of dogs, and what to do with dogs. Those are all things they were curious about, and that's an avenue of curiosity [...] maybe that becomes a passion or something. But those are wonderful ways to sort of engage with them and help them. The stuff that we learn in school is just so damn boring, you know. A lot of times it's like, who cares?!"
As a passionate advocate for Bitcoin and its underlying principles, Jimmy draws parallels between the decentralized nature of Bitcoin and the ethos of unschooling. He explores the intersection of financial freedom, intellectual sovereignty, and independent education, demonstrating how embracing alternative paths can empower individuals and families to challenge the status quo.
